Apple Watch Stainless Steel link bracelets review and comparison

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

First of all, this video is an experiment. Playing with a new logos, intros, macros, and transitions, so you might find this one a little different than usual. Trying to do the video with a script VoiceOver so its better organized and allows me to be a little more creative.
This video is a review and comparison of the Apple Watch Silver Stainless Steel and Space Black Link bracelets. I give a brief history of the Apple Watch, show how the sizing works, and side by side comparison of both. Enjoy!

    Fantastic video. I really appreciate the thoughtful review. I’ve ordered the new Apple Watch 7 in space black titanium and I plan on buying the black link to go with it. I think the brushed metal look of the titanium watch will look nice with the brushed faces of the black link. While the lug will be slightly off, you mentioned the side is glossy, I’m hoping it won’t be a big deal for me. We’ll see once I have it in person. Thanks again for your review as it helped solidify my decision.

    What a great video! I struggle to find any recent videos of the link bracelet, especially with the Series 4/5/6 design, which is a shame! This is truly a beautiful strap that elevates the look of the watch. Truly an underrated strap that i wish Apple would promote more. i’ve been convinced to purchase one for my own :)

    I 100% agree, with the amount they have put into these, I would think they would keep marketing it on any level. The shame is that you couldn't get it for the Graphite, that would look like liquid mercury!! Which color did you go for?

    Thanks for the video. I am contemplating buying this to go with my series 7 stainless steel watch. You mentioned the stainless steel bracelet is matte/brushed. How does that bracelet look with the stainless steel watch? Would seem to be mismatched in texture.

    Thank you Efren! I've never looked at the gold version of the watch. When it comes to bracelets, my personal preference is to match the metal, but I have seen people mix and match the bracelet colors and be very happy. good thing about our preferences and tastes are we are never wrong if we personally like it :)

    I’m using my 7 year-old silver link bracelet with the new Ultra watch and it looks great. You mention that the bracelet needs to be broken apart to add or remove it from the watch. Not necessary. Just work both ends in or out evenly a little at a time and it goes together very well. Nice video BTW.

    Thanks Paul, I always got nervous about putting too much stress on the links or the end links doing it that way. The push button link removal is the reason I love the Apple Link bracelet. It was worn 90% of the time on my other Apple Watches. Thanks for watching!
